Synchronous regimes induced in semiconductor superlattices by a tilted magnetic field and external force

Resumo

The effect a periodic electric field has on the dynamics of electron domains in a semiconductor superlattice with applied voltage and a magnetic field tilted relative to the superlattice axis is investigated. It is shown that this periodic electric field greatly affects the I–V characteristic of the superlattice and can induce several interesting phenomena, including the onset of synchronous regimes. The obtained results are compared to the data for a zero tilted magnetic field.
